Kangana Ranaut has always impressed fans with her incredible acting skills and gutsy plain speaking.

This time, the Queen star has expressed her opinions regarding feminism. Speaking to the media, Kangana took a subtle dig at Hrithik without mentioning his name, as she explained the ordeal of her legal battles with him.

“This incident is very different from the incident I faced in the past. There were no legal proceedings ever initiated against me. There was a lot of media drama, there were a lot of threats and there was a lot slut-shaming. There was no case filed against me,” she said.

The actor shared that she faced a lot of feminist pressure during that time. “But yes, there were media trials and there was a lot of pressure. There was a certain feminist pressure on me to fight and tell the world the sob story that I had. But, I didn’t have any. I was in a consensual equation with an individual and I felt perfectly capable of dealing with the stuff that was coming my way as an adult.”

Kangana explained that  there was a time she pondered over the true meaning of feminism. “I was pressurised to a point where I felt questioning what exactly is feminism. Is it fighting for an individual’s acceptance? Or begging for his acknowledgment publicly? Then I’m not a feminist," she said.

"If anybody, any individual wants nothing to do with me and feels ashamed of me, to get rid of me, the only thing I will say to that individual is goodbye," she added.
